Club Mate[1] is a carbonated tea drink which is hugely popular amongst
European Hackers. I thought about importing it, but that would imply
$3/bottle[2], which would leave us with slim profit margins. Let's try and
make 10% of sudoroom's budget through profits.
I am committing up to $300 in funding to this, in an attempt to make 100
bottles as a proof of concept. I need your assistance on any of the
following sub-points. Accept to do the following or provide input on the
wiki[3] and I'll write you a cheque as needed:
==Business Plan==
Initial Funding: up to $300
Target Sales: $200 - $300
1. Make it.
1. Buy sufficient raw mate
1. for 50L ~ 100 bottles
1. Assuming 500ml bottles
2. We could also use 333ml bottles
2. Brew it
1. Will we need a vat?
1. Do we have a vat?
2. Can a metal worker at sudo make us a vat
3. Spice it if necessary
1. Following this guide[4] maybe
2. Or allow adventurous sudoer to blaze trail
4. Carbonate it
1. Bobby, David Wild's roommate does this
1. Ask him nicely
2. Pay him
2. Buy a soda-stream
5. Transport it too bottler
2. Bottle It.
1. Use as many recycled bottles as possible
1. Put call out for more bottles
1. Pay a homeless person worst comes to worse
2. Use the sudo capping machine
1. I believe its in the closet
3. Labelling
1.
2. Rock paper scissors can do this
4. Transport it to storage
3. Store it
1. We might be able to use the sudo closet
1. Does it require refrigerated storage?
2. Do we have a refrigerator
1. Find one or many on CL Free
4. Sell it.
1. Target price $2-3/bottle depending on investment figures
2. Always at sudo, but also at specialized events
3. At Oakland Nights live
4. At an events night fundraiser
1. Sober
1. Games tournament
2. Debate
3. Hackathon
2. Mix it with alcohol
1. At a sudorave.
2. One of the planned Movie Nights
5. At art murmur.
1. Have this ready by May 3rd.

Can someone please bring an HDMI adapter to sudoroom?
Tamale is fucked up somehow and none of us can figure out why.
Networking is broken and the SD card filesystem seems perfectly
normal. We can't test with a console connection because we can't find
our HDMI adapter. I know we had one once but it has disappeared. Can
someone please bring one so we can get our door to work again? Thanks!

I created a new sudoroom Food hacking wiki page
I'm including starting points such as Max's Club Mate Idea
I have a sodastream that can create carbonated water and I'm all for
creating non-branded, non wasteful, healthier versions of soda and "energy
drinks"... we can make soda the old fashioned way and even better, without
high fructose corn syrup and "energy creating" petrochemicals...

would anyone be into collecting all our work together? It would be nice to
see what other people are working on or printing out.
I'm interested in altering some existing arduino cases and making them more
interesting! and then painting them.
Looking forward to the 3D printing "Today I Learned" coming up
Wow I'm looking forward to tonight's micro controller session! I'm going to make it an eat fresh fruits and veggies night for me! Ill hack and being extra for other folks

Thank you so much for your support guys :)
it just got over the 2000 mark, still hoping for it to go a bit viral
(rent of the gallery is 1200). so it only helps me breathe for a
month... until I find more people who are regular supporters.
you still have the chance for about a day to become a Co-Founder of
the Nyan Cat University,
the first all inclusive University for anyone who wants to celebrate
peace, joy, global connection, collaboration and creativity. I think
Nyan Cat University is a big step forward for humanity ;) Nyan Cat
University is potentially everywhere, it will be an awesome website
with tutorials and the workshops can be held anywhere.
If you could post and endorse the campeign just for the sake of
helping a starving broke hacker on your facebook that would be really
awesome.
